You would need more than a plate, because you would need front rear as well as side to side tipping forces. My old 2 post is outside. I made an "H" frame out of heavy 2x6 tube, l with added 2" tube triangular braces, which are overkill. They did not need to be that large. The center supports are a PAIR of 2x6 tubes, and even then with the 3/4 or Dakota, the posts "move" in at the top. On the pickups, I use a brace across between the two, hooks to the two carriages
Below, the tubing that will be the center supports
Below, half the frame just before erecting. Come-a-long to the radio tower, "gin pole" style
Next two below, the upper and lower triangular brace anchors
Below, this is anchor, one on each side on the carriages for a cross brace on the pickups. Keeps posts from "creeping" inwards
Last two, "in the air" and a view of the base. Identical "U" to make the "H" comes out forwared
THIS IS THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!!! Regardless of not having a shop
